“…Phenomenal format. Really liked the schedule nature of it. The one on one conversations, the predetermined meetings and step up discussions. The ability to network, spend time talking not walking by in a rush worked really well, especially compared to standard trade show format where you’re looking for people to walk by and you’re trying to have short conversations that have less meaning. … It was just a great format and certainly look forward to doing another one.”

The program: facility leaders come to hear how other facilities fixed it.

The program is built from projects facilities actually finished, presented by the facility and the company that did the work. Every roofing category has room for more. If you've solved a problem like these, your story belongs on this program.

    Minerva Middle School, Ohio ends years of leaks with a new membrane roof

    Damschroder Roofing tore the roof off down to the deck and installed two layers of Duro-Guard ISO insulation (R-30), coverboard and a Duro-Tuff 50 mil membrane with vinyl ribs and snow retention: 90,750 sq ft, started in May 2023 and finished three months later around the school's testing schedule, with a 20-year Duro-Last NDL warranty; no cost figure given (as reported by Duro-Last, 2026).

    The problem: Despite repeated repairs, the 20-year-old school's steep, segmented shingle roof let wind-driven rain into the hallways and cafeteria.

    400 Market Street, Pennsylvania cuts heating and cooling energy 25% without replacing its windows

    Interior low-e, argon-filled secondary glazing from Renovate by Berkowitz, installed in 2011 at roughly half the cost of a traditional window replacement and 2-3 times quicker: 25 percent whole-building heating and cooling energy savings and 35-60 percent in the perimeter offices in a 2012-2013 DOE study, with less street noise (measured; as reported by the Attachments Energy Rating Council, 2020).

    The problem: Poor single-pane windows were the weak point of a 12-story, 200,000 sq ft office building from 1972, and full replacement would have meant moving tenants out.

      Denver Federal Center, Colorado halves air leakage in a federal office building

      AeroBarrier pressurized the space and sealed it with an aerosol acrylic sealant, installed over two days: on the 4,462 sq ft demonstration site, third-party blower door tests showed 52.60% less air leakage, achieved in less than 7 hours including preparation and cleanup, at $1.0 to $1.25 per sq ft (measured; as reported by Oak Ridge National Laboratory for GSA's Green Proving Ground, August 2023).

      The problem: GSA wanted to know whether automated air sealing could tighten the envelope of a two-story steel-frame office building that was already getting more insulation and high-performance windows.

Have a customer story you're proud of?

Tell us about one project you finished for a facility. If it fits the program, we'll send you a proposed session outline and the sponsorship details.

"Invited" means invited: none of these companies has confirmed. Results are as published by the supplier; we ask every presenter for dates, baseline costs and verified results before the program is final.
